The Video and Sound actions are now supported, so you can use buttons to play, pause, and stop videos. In
addition, multiple actions are also supported in sequence. For example, a button can now play an audio clip and then change to a new slide when
the audio ends.
Button actions that trigger the state of a multi-state object now work in scrollable frames. Note that when you
paste the content frame into the container frame, the state action is removed, so you need to add the action again after pasting.
When you create a PDF article, you can pinch and zoom on any page even if it includes interactive
objects. You can even pinch and zoom while an overlay is playing. PDF-based articles are still available only on iPad viewers, not the desktop
viewer or other AIR-based viewers. When creating or updating your custom viewer, remember to select the “Enable PDF Zooming” option in the
Viewer Builder.
If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create your own
version of the Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad. The ability to build your own custom Content Viewer offers two advantages. First, when a new
version of the Folio Producer tools becomes available, you can test the new features while the Adobe Content Viewer is awaiting approval.
Second, the Preview on Device feature is enabled in the custom Adobe Content Viewer.
When you use the Viewer Builder to create a Adobe Content Viewer, you can copy folio information directly
to a connected iPad without going through the acrobat.com web client. However, Preview on Device for the iPad requires a third-party utility such
as Phone Disk. Preview on Device for the iPad works only on Mac OS, not Windows.
If you move or rename your source files, you can use the Relink command in the Folio Builder panel to reconnect the article layouts to the
source files.
Adobe and Amazon have resolved the issues that prevented custom viewers from being approved
in the Amazon Appstore. In addition, folios are now stored in the App Data folder of the SD Card, thereby avoiding residual folios that might
otherwise remain when an app is deleted.
Custom viewers you create now support Apple’s “Free Subscription” option.
Push notifications are no longer triggered automatically whenever you publish a folio. After you publish or
update a folio, click the Notify button in the Folio Producer Organizer to trigger push notifications.
With an Enterprise account, you can create a custom server to control push notifications.
If you’re an Enterprise publisher, you can hide free content in the viewer library, allowing you to entitle
customers to download specific content based on their sign-in accounts.
If you’re an Enterprise publisher, you can set up an HTML store that interacts with the viewer library. For example,
when customers sign in to your third-party store, they can be signed in to the viewer automatically.
The entire subscription tile is now an active tap area, not just the button area in the lower right corner. When a user
subscribes to an app, subscription options are hidden. If a user purchases the most recent folio, subscription options now remain available.
For Android viewer libraries, you have the option of using Grid View, Cover View, or Both. For smaller
Android devices, some publishers prefer allowing only Cover View.
You can now use the Admin tool to create limited accounts for in-house and contract designers.
Accounts you create are tied to the company’s account without allowing access to features such as analytics.
Release 17
Instead of paying a monthly subscription to Adobe for a Professional or Enterprise account, you can now pay a one-time fee to
create a single-folio viewer app that you can submit to the Apple Store.
